Tribute to craftsmanship 9/50

€42.00

Wheel thrown in porcelain by Maud Timmermans in Rotterdam, the Tribute to Craftsmanship series explores the learning process behind pottery and the traces left through repetition and practice. Developed through 50 cylinders thrown using the same amount of porcelain and the same starting diameter, each piece reveals small variations in height, thickness, and form as skill develops over time. Numbered and signed, the series brings attention to the persistence, failures, and accumulated knowledge often hidden behind handmade work.

  • Maud Timmermans is an artist and ceramicist based in Rotterdam and the founder of TIMM ceramics. Working across ceramics, woodworking, and object design, her practice explores the relationship between people and everyday objects, drawing attention back to material, process, and the traces left by the maker’s hand.

    With a background in product design and a practice rooted in craft, Maud approaches making as a way to question how objects are produced, used, and valued. Through ceramics, she explores repetition, technical challenges, and subtle variations that reveal the time and attention behind handmade work. Alongside clay, her interest in woodworking and textiles often enters her practice, creating objects that move between function, play, and sculptural form.

  • Tribute to Craftsmanship reflects Maud’s interest in making the often invisible parts of craft visible. Developed through two series of thrown porcelain cylinders, the project highlights the repetition, failures, and gradual shifts that shape the learning process behind pottery.

    For this unique series, Maud threw 50 cylinders using the same amount of porcelain and the same diameter as a starting point. As the series progressed, subtle variations emerged naturally through repetition, with walls becoming thinner and forms gradually changing. Each cylinder, including the imperfect ones, was kept, numbered, and signed, making visible the time, practice, and persistence often hidden behind handmade objects.
